TOO MUCH REFUGE"
Destitute and Pauperized Persons Land
ing on Our Shores.

New YORK, May 31st.-The Times saws
editOrially: The British Government is
again trying to unload upon the people of
this country destitute and pauperized per-
sons it is unwilling to support The steam
ship Scandinavia arrived at Philadelphia
last Sunday and brought to that port 100
immigrants from the West of Ireland,
whose passage had been paid by the Gov
ernment representatives. After sixteen of
them had evaded the inspectors, the re-
naming members of the party were de-
tanned by the Commissioners for examina-
ton. 1t appears the landlords of the dis.
trict from which these immigrants come
were requested to make lists of persons
who were unable to make a living and
whom the local authorities were unwilling
to support. To each of the persons whose
names were thus reported the Government
gave a steerage ticket for passage to
America and draft on New York for S.
or $40.
Just now the people of London are COM
planning that foreign paupers have come
into the city from the continent. While
they are unwilling to support the paupers
OF Russia and Germany, they approve the
policy that sends their own paupers to the
aims houses of America. Public opinion
In this country Enthusiastically calls for
strict enforcement of the laws which re-
qulre the exclusion of paupers, lunatics
and criminals from abroad Whatever
may be the drift of public sentiment con
corning additional restrictions, it is plain
the exclusion of paupers, lunatics and
criminals is demanded by all There is
abundant evidence that the law for their
exclusion is not strictly enforced Since
1880 the number of lunatics in the asylum
of this State has increased by ~ per cent,
while the increase of population has not
exceeded l6 per cent
1t is known this increase in the number
of insane persons is due, in great meas
ure, to the admission of lupatics from
abroad. Our State Board of Charities is
continually sending such lunatics to the
country from which they came. 1t is
shown that of those returned last year
many have been sent to America by cities.
towns and various organizations. 1t is i'm
possible for officers to make the examina-
ton which the law requires at the port of
entry, where l 600 immigrants may apply
for admission in one dav 1t is proposed
that part of the work of examination he
made in foreign countries by our Consuls,
and that no one shall be admitted here
who cannot show Consui's certificate
Probably such divisions of labor will
eventually be required by law Under the
present conditions many immigrants are
admitted who never should have been al
owed to leave the ports of departure.
ALLOWED To LAND.
PHILADELPHIA, May 31st.-The eighty
four Irish immigrants who were detained
on the Allan line steamship Scandinavian
were permitted to land to-day by the repre-
sentatives of the United States Bureau of
immigration. They will be assisted to
reach their friends by the British Govern
ment authorities.

GAVE UP THE FIGHT.
Poverty and Misery Drive an Aged Couple
to Suicide.


JERSEY CITY ND, May 31st.-Professor
Charles Siedhorf and his wife Matilda
aged respectively 81 and 92-tired of their
long and futile struggle with destitution,
committed suicide this afternoon on Union
Hill. Siedhorf, it is said, was a Professor
of Chemistry in the EIeidelburg University
in Germany thirty-fve years ago. He sup
ported himself by writing for newspapers,
making translations, and occasionally lect-
uring upon chemistry and electricity.
These means failing. they lived in filth and
squalor. The poormaster called to take
them to the Stake Hill Hospital, where
light employment could be provided for
him. He begged for few hours time. At
its expiration the officers found him and
wife lying dead on the floor and letter
saying they had taken that deadliest of
poisons, cyanide of potassium. He gave as
a reason for the act that he could rot take
his wife with him to the hospital, and
could not live without her. He also spoke
of having been wronged by some one. 1t
was most pitiful affair

the Navy, is ayowedly only

WASHINGTON, May 31st.-Correspondence
has recently passed between the Secretary
of State and the British Minister on the
subject of the immigration of Irish crofters
whose transportation expenses, it is cur

Government. In answer to inquiries by
the British Minister, as to whether the
Government intends to take any action in
the premises. Secretary Bayard states that
he cannot give a general reply, but that
each case will be considered upon its
merits. He intimates, however, that the
sending of paupers who are likely to be-
come a public charge on this country, by
the British Government, will be regarded
as an unfriendly act.
